Load shedding hit record levels in 2021.

No, you didn't imagine it. 2021 was indeed a nightmarish year as far as load shedding was concerned.

Statistics compiled up until 30 November by the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) found unprecedented levels of load shedding in the year to date both in terms of the duration of the outages and the amount of energy shed.

The data shows 1 136 hours of outages, up 37% from the 859 hours recorded last year. The amount of energy shed was 2455 GWh, up from 1798 GWh in 2020.
